Mmm no. 18 year olds are still in highschool, most school shootings are done with handguns, ergo leave it at 21.

Well then there shouldn't be an age limit at all then. Fuck it - legalize all guns, no licenses, no anything because bad guys will always get guns and therefore there is no point in restrictions.



The prevention-at-the-margin argument is what disproves it.

I made two claims. Be precise.

Lowering the handgun age from 21 to 18 will have no effect on the ability of a 14 year old gangbanger getting a gun on the black market.

Shall I explain the 'prevention-at-the-margin' argument to you? You clearly don't understand what it means.

But gangbangers are already below the age of 18, thus it wouldn't matter if you lowered it to 18. In addition, gangbangers never get their guns from legal sources to begin with. Do you really think some black market dealer is going to perform a background check or ask for ID?
